Jabian could be good... wouldn't recommend North Highland. Slalom also has a strong presence there - solid option if you are in Cloud/Data/etc.

You could come to Slalom ATL. Also local firm. I don’t know if we’re considered boutique though. Our office is almost 400 people. 6500 nationwide

We do, but just a tiny tiny bit. I’m in the strategy group, and we’ve just started building out that service line. Might be a good time to join if you want to help build it out

I've always been Curt about Slalom...I've worked with a few of you in the past.

Why not NH?

Suit yourself OP. A lot of NH folks are at Slalom

Whoops...typo *"curious about Slalom". In your opinion, why is Slalom so great?

I'm not a technologist, Program/project Manager

OP - I’m a fan of the culture, the people, and the cool work that sometimes comes our way. I’m in Strategy. Admittedly, the cooler work is with technologists, but if you’ve got PM chops with a tech bend, you’ll do well. We’ve got a large PM practice, but I’ll be 100% transparent, sometimes you end up in staff Aug projects. We’re doing better at selling larger solutions that pair our PM practice with full teams, but we still do the one off PM

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
